Abstract: | A significant number of recent novels address an environmentally degraded Mediterranean as a gateway to explore, from localised contexts, an epochal sense of crisis. Through the comparative analysis of Crematorio (2007) and En la orilla (2013) by Rafael Chirbes, Beirut, I Love You (2009) by Zena el Khalil and Earthly Remains (2017) by Donna Leon, this thesis raises new arguments around narrative representations of the contemporary Mediterranean Sea as a deteriorated environment due to globalisation's logics of spatial production. Building on a conception of the global novel as a critical framework, the work analyses a corpus of novels that seek to address the poetic challenge of representing environmental phenomena of varying scale and complexity in the Mediterranean in a sometimes ambivalent, sometimes contradictory, confluence with the dense historical imaginaries of the sea. The research is situated within the framework of global literary studies and aims to add to recent contributions on the novel and on the growing discourse in the field of spatial representations and ecocriticism. |
